Nathan Chung: South Korea’s failed coup of 2024 holds warnings and lessons
On Dec. 3, 2024, South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol attempted a self-coup by declaring emergency martial law. He and his wife were facing various criminal charges, and his party had only about one third of the seats in the National Assembly, the legislature. Yoon sent soldiers to the legislators’ building to prevent them from exercising their constitutional power to vote down the martial law. They still managed to vote, aided by citizens who surrounded the building to delay the soldiers. On April 4, the Constitutional Court impeached Yoon, who is currently in jail and on trial for insurrection.

Speaking of Nature: Like floating jewels: A single blossom on a fragrant water lily blooms for only three days
We find ourselves in the middle of “deep summer.” Air conditioners are running at full tilt and many outdoor activities are restricted to the early-morning hours before things get really uncomfortable. I know that I frequently find myself thinking about jumping into a pond in the middle of a hot summer afternoon. Pools of dark water that hide secrets from us are very alluring when the temperature rises and the idea of quietly floating in a lake or pond is something that will resonate with many of you. As it happens, I was lucky enough to get the chance to do just that when visiting my brother up in Maine.
